Synopsis
Starting at the end of each president's life, "Who's
Buried in Grant's Tomb?" offers a fascinatingly
different approach to these famous men. The book supplies
some interesting trivia, such as the last words of George
Washington, William Henry Harrison, and Millard Fillmore
quoted above, and highlights some neglected historical
moments, including the massive crowd of 60,000 people who
marched in Ulysses S. Grant's funeral procession, as well as
early medical advice to presidents who suffered from heart
disease or cancer. "Who's Buried in Grant's Tomb?"
can also be used as a tourbook to visit the sites and learn
more about the 41 U.S. presidents. This 256-page book
includes a foreword by Richard Norton Smith and an afterword
by Douglas Brinkley.
